Save Time and Money with the KIP C7800

Post navigation

KIP released this C7800 Video Brochure highlighting features such as dry toner printing and the ability to print mixed sized documents at full speed.

Black & White Technical Printing

Also shown is the LED printer’s speed of printing for black and white technical documents which is 4,200 square feet an hour.

The cost of operation for black and white prints is low. A 6 square foot print with 26.8% page coverage costs $.16 per page or $.026 per square foot. Where as page with 9.76% page coverage costs $.061 per page or $.01 per square foot.

Color Technical Printing

The C7800 prints color technical documents at 3,500 square feet an hour. Printing in color can save a substantial amount of time due to ease of identifying elements within a full color document.

Cost of color technical documents has decreased significantly in recent years and the C7800 is no different. A 6 square foot color print with 45.2% coverage will cost $.31 per sheet or $.05 per square foot. A 3 square foot document with 21% coverage will cost $.08 per sheet or $.027 per square foot.

Full Color: Business Graphics, Point of Purchase, Display Graphics

Printing graphics such as posters on the C7800 is still done at a high rate: 3,500 square feet an hour. The prints are light-fast and waterproof. So if a cup of water is spilled on a freshly printed poster the ink will not run.

What about the cost of a full color poster? At 135% coverage of a 12 square foot graphic document the cost is $1.76 per sheet and $.15 per square foot. A 6 square foot color print with 85% coverage costs $.57 a sheet and $.095 per square foot.
